How would I connect this directly to a PC for use with a XLR microphone?

You need to use a USB or FireWire audio interface. I use and like the Presonus AudioBox 22VSL. Plug your mic XLR into the DBX and then run the DBX out into one of the AudioBox inputs with a good cable.

The easiest way to connect the DBX to a computer is to use a USB audio interface, like the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 or the Mackie Onyx Blackjack. You'll connect your XLR mic to the DBX, and use a quarter-inch cable/guitar cable to plug into the USB interface.

There is a line level out which you can run straight into your pc. Just remember it'll be mono. You don't NEED an audio interface. Most PCs have a line level or microphone input you could use. The quality would be better with an audio interface. It is likely not needed to make this work though.

You nede an audio interface that will turn your analog mic signal into digita so you're computer will recognize itl. A low-cost interface, which does a decent job, is the Lexicon Alpha (which is the one I use). It cost around $55 and you can get it on Amazon. It doesn't have phantom power (which you need if your using a condenser mic) but that's OK, because the dbx has it. Keep in mind that both units have preamps, so you'll have to watch your levels. Anyway, you'll plug your mic cord (xlr) into the dbx, and from the dbx output, you'll go into the Lexicon input (you'll need a cord with a 1/4" male plug on both ends). I realize that a lot of folks use more expensive units, but if you've got the dbx, you don't need anything other than the Lexicon. Also -- The Lexicon has only one mic input, so if you're doing anything more than simple voiceovers, you'll also need a small mixer (and be careful in choosing one...Berringers have an bad hiss...stick with Mackie and you'll be OK).

Ryan and Paul are correct, you need to have a USB interface. I also use a Scarlett (the 2i4), a fairly inexpensive device, in between the dbx and the computer.

You're going to want an interface as others have said. My setup is Mic -> XLR -> Cloudlifter single channel -> XLR -> DBX 286s -> Line out with 1/4" jack -> Line in 3 of my Scarlett 6i6. Just to let you know, as it stands right now WDM doesn't pick up Scarlett mix's signal as input 1, so only ASIO drivers with software like Ableton Live will detect (or allow you to select) the third line in signal. That means if you're doing live audio, you're currently buggered. However, as I contacted Focusrite on this, they said they're going to be rolling out a patch to deal with this problem.Hope that helps! You're going to want an interface as others have said.

Angel, it is a fairly easy procedure! You will need an Analog to Digital interface (one that has a phantom power supply usually 48V)...then you connect the Interface to your PC (via USB cable) and the microphone to the interface (be sure to use only a microphone XLR cable (as a cable that has one female XLR end and a 1/4" mono jack, will not transmit phantom power that the mic. needs to operate... There is another way of connecting the microphone if you have a studio mixing board w/phantom power... Just connect the microphone to the mixing board (again use only a cable with male and female XLR plugs)... Then the board runs to the interface and into your PC.... I hope this helps! If you have further questions on connection methods you can catch me on Twitter (@SoundwaveIntox) or through my website at www.soundwaveintoxicationrecordingstudio.com Again, I hope this helps you out!

The application is TruRTA, but it takes a bit of effort to understand. The link will also have info about options for connecting the mic to a PC: an XDL-USB adapter (Amazon) or a mini mixer (Amazon).

In order to use this microphone with a computer you need an XLR cable like the one in the link belowPlanet Waves Classic Series XLR Microphone Cable, 10 feetAnd also a computer interface that has phantom power, as the one belowBehringer Xenyx 302USB MixerObviously you also need a USB cable (similar to the ones used in printers).

It requires phantom power so an interface is required. Either a small mixer which will provide the DC voltage that connects to your PC (via USB preferable) or just a phantom power insert box and an XLR to USB interface cable can make it work.

You need an audio interface with Phanthom power to connect this Microphone to your computer

I've never used it that way but you would need an adapter in order to connect it to a computer. The mic uses a 1/4 inch plug" while most computers use a stereo mini mic input.

You need XLR female output cable from DI box to PA or recording interface then input and thru need both 1/4 inch mono jack plug with cable

Compatible with any XLR microphone. I've used it with a few different models including Behringer 8500 etc with no issues getting PC to recognize.

Connect to headphone output on your PC and another end to converter headphone input. There is a wire for that included.

This isn't for connecting to a computer, it's only phantom power used for special microphones that require power. You are looking for something like the PreSonus AudioBox USB 2x2 USB Recording Interface.

find a mic with a better connection. i had to buy another adapter just to use it.

You will need an external audio device with an XLR input and phantom power. This is a standard microphone with a standard XLR connector, no USB connection.

It would need an xlr cable(and an interface) to connect to a computer.You can buy a USB mic, they go in directly and work great.

This item only has two mic ins and two mic outs (XLR outs I believe it is called). In order to connect it to a computer, you need an I/O interface that connects with usb or something else.

I bought this unit to power my Blue Bird mic with my camcorder for which it worked quite well. I see no reason that it wouldn't work with a PC. There are more "elegant" solutions, though -- eg Blue's Icicle which powers the mic and goes through the USB. Behringer is the cheaper solution and is a good answer. Good luck.

Yes, a simple XLR cable into a preamp will do the trick. No other converters needed (as long as you have an audio interface of course).
